Mime Praise Dance Research Paper

My walk with Christ is a little unusual, but he makes everyone’s story different. The night of July 17th was a weird night for me. I said my prayers and asked God to watch over my dad’s football team and keep everyone safe, but I kept hearing this voice in my head that said , “Do not go tomorrow.” I thought to myself yeah right I’m going, and I heard the voice

Three years ago I went to the Cumberland mountains of Tennessee. June came more quickly than I had planned. Before I knew it, it was time to go on my mission trip. Twelve hours of driving seemed like it took forever. During that twelve hour drive, I thought a lot about what I had imagined the week would be like. I knew it would take hard work and an open mind. Those twelve hours finally came to an end, we were in the mountains of Tennessee. I had mixed emotions that was going through as we settled into our cabins and looked around the camp site. It was definitely overwhelming when more church groups arrived, but I had to keep in mind that I needed to have an open mind about the week. Monday morning came in a flash. We fueled up with breakfast before we

Dad came up from the airport on the second of June. He told stories about his travel down in Texas and God forging the way- and in between how he regrets staying in Indiana for so long. He told us how he found a great charismatic church with a rowdy crowd and the healing rooms. We packed into the trucks and dad lead a prayer in front of the house. We knew we had a day’s worth of journey down to Texas with only a break at a hotel paid for by spare change. This would be the makeshift vacation for the

Apprehensively I journeyed through “God’s time”, and couldn’t have been more grateful of the outcome. Before the retreat even began I was excited: excited to learn about others and myself, but more importantly to learn more about God. My relationship with God wasn’t necessarily horrible. I consider my past self to be similar to someone who believed in God, but was confused in what she specifically believed. I was unsure of how God could love people who only brought destruction and hate into a world that he created out of love. Kairos helped me come to the conclusion that God loves everyone and will continue to love His people forever. If I were to ever turn away from God, I now know He will always be waiting for me to return to Him.

For the past three years I had been studying the word of God diligently putting time and effort into everything I did to learn more about my God. It all started in the sixth grade when I began my first class of confirmation , we were referred to as “ first years”. In our first year we had hilarious instructors who made the experience a blast. That year we mainly learned the word of God in a fun way through games, songs ,and extremely thorough discussions. However, On the downside of all the fun activities we had a midterm and a final exam . The event we were all looking forward to though was the retreat (a camp in the woods where we grow closer to God and our brothers and sisters of Christ).

Exploring dance as a career is a challenging, but rewarding career in the long run. It takes years of dedication, and countless hours of training to perfect technique, and gain the needed endurance, strength, and agility, but it is a passion that brings joy to the multitude. Throughout the short lived career of a dancer, they will endure many auditions, rehearsals, and performances, if the dancer can make it through an audition and gain a role. Even though the wages may not be the best, and the hours are long, a true dancer will be able to overlook this all in pursuit of their passion. Where did the career, of being a professional dancer come from? What does this career look like? Is there necessary education

From July to November last year, I was away in London as a student in a Discipleship Training School (DTS). During this time, I grew so much as both a person, and as a disciple of God. Before I returned to the United States last year, I had a meeting with my leaders there, and they told me that they felt that I would come back at some point, they told me that I still had some growing to do before I went to college in January. They didn’t know exactly what I would do when I came back, but they knew that I would. One of my mother’s friends prays for me and our family every day, and upon my return to the US, she told my mom that she felt that I would be going back to London eventually. I have had so many people tell me that I would be going back, and now God Himself has called me back, and I am going to answer that call.

June 24th, the day had arrived, and I was jetting off to Weaverville, NC. I didn't think I had the inner ability to serve the Lord, and be an example when I had so much left to learn. Before I could blink, I was weaving up the mountains of Windy Gap. I was so nervous my stomach was doing flip flops; as I came to the realization there was no turning back, I held my tears. The first thing I see is a gathering of people who were about to change my life. They are jumping at the opportunity to take my phone, the last connection I have to reality and submerge me into the bubble of Young Life. I had yet to realize, I was just given one of the greatest gifts, the opportunity to serve a month of my summer at Windy Gap, a Young Life Camp. There, I worked alongside other high schoolers serving campers day by day as a Laundry girl. Meticulous effort and thought put into every movement at camp. Our days were long and tedious, filled with tasks of setting tables, serving campers, clearing tables, cleaning EVERYWHERE, washing, folding, mowing, raking, weeding, wiping, lifting, hauling, carrying, and presenting. I was forced to treat 50 strangers as my new family if I wanted to make it through the hot summer

Before I went to dance that day I felt so bored like I would just dance forever, but that would change. My whole family ate supper, and then I had to go to dance class. I was in first grade at the time. My dad took me to dance class that night. I went in and was getting ready for class when I heard my friend talk about how her sister used to do cheer. I asked her more about it. She said, "They do tumbling, stunting, and a little dancing at the end." It sounded so fun, I was so interested in cheer. I couldn’t wait to tell my parents about cheer! If I wouldn't have told them about cheer, they probably would have never known or let me do it. But, they let me do cheer, and I was so happy. I was so grateful that my mom and dad let me do cheer, because it costed a lot of money.

In the 21st century we as citizens have seen the way technology has evolved and is incorporated into our everyday lives, massive impacts such as communication, factories or _______ too much smaller tasks like turning on a light. It’s a surprise that such small things can contribute to one major performance, such as Gideon Obarzanek, Mortal Engine and the Step Up films. Throughout history, dance has been generalised as traditional and usually incorporating very little technical work. Yet, things have drastically evolved. Now a more technical side of modern dance has been incorporated and due to this has attracted a more diverse audience.

I found my true love at the age of five. My mom had signed me up for dance lessons this year. I had grown up watching Aishwarya Rai, and Madhuri Dixit, the dancing idols of Bollywood. I could only dream of becoming like them day and night. The night before my first lessons, I can still remember receiving that baby pink, ornate lehenga from my dad, feeling enlivened that soon I also will be dancing to those upbeat, familiar melodies in my new dress, like my role models.

Fadi, his wife Justine and Marsha and I are in a small group made up of Uganda participants and their friends. We have been meeting for a year and a half. Some are Christians and some are not. Fadi was the driving force behind the group. This semester, for the first time, we are studying a book of the bible. To counterbalance the scary?! leap into talking about God and religion, Fadi and his friend Desmond decided to brew cider and we named the group InCider Mark. In the process of preparing for the group, Fadi had an encounter with God, "I was on my knees for an hour last weekend bottling cider. And then I started to think about why I’m

When it comes to dance there are many styles such as ballet, jazz, and lyrical, but the one that stands out is modern. When it comes to modern dance, there are many pioneers such as Alvin Ailey, Martha Graham, Lester Horton, and Isadora Duncan. The two that interest me the most are Isadora Duncan and Alvin Ailey. Isadora Duncan was born on May 26, 1877 as Angela Duncan in San Francisco, California. Her mother was Dora, and her father was Joseph Duncan, who left the family when Isadora was still young. Her family then moved to Oakland where Isadora and her sister taught dance classes to help earn money for the family. Isadora was the youngest of four children and as a child and her siblings were Augustin, Raymond, and Elizabeth Duncan. She took ballet lessons as a child, but quit, referring to it as “affected grace and toe walking.” At

Howdy friends, I just came back from a fantastic retreat with my young adult friends from Times Square Church. To say this retreat was great will be an understatement! It's amazing how God can alter one's plan for His purpose. My intention was just to go there and take a break from a hectic week from school and troubles of NYC. Didn't know that God had other plans for me. While on the bus to the venue of the retreat, I had a quiet moment with the Lord. My desire later changed from actually wanting to just have fun, to wanting a divine connection with the Lord. This retreat wouldn't be the first I would be attending, but I wanted this to be different from the other ones.
